"...Many times, investment is not only about investing in projects but also investing in people. In even more cases, the human factor is even more important than the project~! The personal qualities of the entrepreneur and the capabilities of the team directly affect the execution effect and market response of the project. A visionary and executive team can better respond to market changes, seize opportunities and avoid risks..." Zhang Junfeng did not answer directly, but expressed his views meaningfully.

"So, boss, you want to observe whether Li Yanhong is worth investing in?" Wu Xiuying reacted quickly.

Since the Internet industry crisis broke out in early March, it has been nearly nine months. The myth of Internet wealth creation that was once sought after and flocked to has been completely shattered, and only a handful of companies have survived this crisis.

Since Qiandu, a company that has only recently entered the Internet industry, does not have any special investment value, the company's founders and management team become the only targets worth examining.

Seeing that Wu Xiuying had understood what he meant, Zhang Junfeng smiled and said, "You can reply to them that if Qiandu Company has time, they can come to Gaoli to discuss face to face. If the negotiation goes well, Comet Capital is willing to invest~!"

"Okay, I'll contact them right away~!"

…

Five Star Group, inside the president’s office.

Li Jianxi and Li Jae-yong, father and son, didn't know what to do for a moment after listening to the report from Director Yin.

Li Zairong looked at Li Jianxi who was silent for a long time without any response, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. "Father, are you going to agree to Mr. Da Zhong's proposal and let our Five Star Group take the lead in participating in the bidding for the Jeju Island tourism project?"

"...Although the Jeju Island project was proposed by Junfeng, Comet Capital has not made any moves. It is very likely that they do not intend to be the first to come forward~!" Li Jianxi said in a deep voice. As the person in charge of the group, he did not intend to act rashly.

After all, Zhang Junfeng had discussed with him privately before the many problems existing in the Jeju Island tourism project. He was originally a little skeptical, but now that Comet Capital has not taken any action, he has become more convinced of what Zhang Junfeng said to him.

“…But if we, the Five Star Group, do not comply with the Blue House’s request, we may be targeted by them later…” Seeing that Li Jianxi did not seem optimistic about the Jeju Island tourism project and even tended to oppose the Blue House’s orders, Li Jae-yong couldn’t help but panic.

"Za Rong, you have to remember that neither the Blue House nor Mr. Dae Jong has ever been friendly towards big companies like us!" Li Jianxi's tone sank, revealing to the other party the "special" point of view that he had been hiding.

"Hyundai Group, which took over the Mt. Geumgang tourism project, is now in a miserable state. He (Mr. Daejong) may have wanted to use this Jeju Island project as an opportunity to make us the second Hyundai Group and Chung Mong-sun..."

When Li Jae-yong heard Li Jianxi suddenly mention the recent situation of Hyundai Group, he was startled for a moment, and then quickly fell into deep thought and panic.

Like many people, he originally thought that the Jeju Island tourism project might be a good investment project, but he never thought that there was such a "secret" in it.

…

Li Jianxi, who had seen Li Jae-yong's reaction, turned to look at the assistant beside him and asked with a smile, "Director Yin, how do you think our Five Star Group should respond to avoid criticism from the Blue House?"

Director Yoon smiled and said, "We will cooperate with the Blue House, but in the final bidding process, we will give the majority of the Jeju Island tourism project to other companies with a small margin. We, the Five Star Group, only need to take some projects with a smaller share to make up for the loss."

"Director Yin is right. That's exactly what I meant~! Our Five Star Group's construction team has already been invited by Comet Capital and Longguo Tianfu Real Estate Company to go to Longguo to participate in large-scale engineering projects. We don't have the extra resources to take on more Jeju Island tourism construction projects."

"Forcing the construction project to be undertaken without sufficient construction teams would slow down the construction progress of the Jeju Island tourism project, which would be a bad thing. I think Mr. Daejong would be able to understand if he knew the reason."

Li Jianxi nodded, and then told his plan seriously. The biggest difference between their Five Star Group and Hyundai Group is that they don't have too many conflicts of interest with the group of politicians in the Blue House. Although the two sides have cooperation, they have not yet reached the point where they need to sacrifice the entire enterprise for the "political achievements" of some people! When Li Jae-yong heard Li Jianxi's resignation, he suddenly realized it. No wonder his father was able to act so calmly when facing such a difficult problem. It turned out that he had already thought of a suitable reason to shirk responsibility!

It's just that the construction team under their group was transferred to Longguo. Isn't it because my brother-in-law Zhang Junfeng is tinkering with a Disney tourist resort project in Longguo? "

"Wait...could it be that Zhang Junfeng had arranged all this long ago? If that's the case, then isn't he too cunning?!" Li Zairong paused, as if he had thought of the key content, and a look of shock flashed across his face.

While launching the Jeju Island tourism project, he also prepared reasons for these "insiders" not to participate. This interlocking plan is much better than his brother-in-law~!

…

Hyundai Group, Chairman’s Office.

"...Chairman, does our Hyundai Group need to participate in the bidding for the Jeju Island tourism project announced by the Blue House?" The assistant at the side looked cautiously at the silent Chairman Chung Mong-sun who was sitting in the chair.

Zheng Meng glared at the other person unhappily, and then scolded him in a low voice, "...Do you think that our Hyundai Group has enough funds to pay for such a large project in its current situation?!"

Thinking back to the time when their Hyundai Group spent billions of dollars to undertake the Mount Kumgang tourism project in order to maintain good relations with the Blue House, especially to gain the friendship of Mr. Dae Jong.

But what is the result? Until now, Hyundai Group has not been able to recover its costs. And because of the Mt. Kumgang project, Hyundai Group's capital chain has been tight or even broken. Many of the group's subsidiaries have been taken away by that bastard Chung Mong-koo. The entire group has long lost its former glory~!

The assistant who was scolded by Zheng Mengxian stood aside silently. Although he was aware of the situation of the group, he had to convey the news from the Blue House. After all, their Hyundai Group is no longer as good as before and is no longer the largest enterprise in Goryeo. They have no spare energy to refuse the other party's request.

"…Reply to the Blue House and tell them that our Hyundai Group's financial situation is still facing considerable problems and that we are powerless to assist with the Jeju Island project." Having calmed down a lot, Chung Mong-sun did not intend to turn against the Blue House at this time.

Hyundai Group needs more time to recuperate, and this process will probably take several years. After Hyundai Group recovers, he will not only regroup and take back everything he lost, but also make that guy Zheng Mengjiu pay a heavy price!

"Yes, President!"

——————Dividing line——————

In a small meeting room on the upper floors of Comet Capital Building, where the Legal Department is located.

"Director Wu, you mean that Ms. Lu has already contacted Mingren Law Firm and consulted on marriage-related laws?" Zhang Junfeng looked at Wu Mingxi in front of him and asked again to confirm.

"Yes! After Ms. Lu contacted me by phone, she even came to visit me in person. However, I am not good at legal provisions related to marriage, so another elite lawyer from another law firm helped me answer the questions."

Wu Mingxi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Boss, who is this Ms. Lu? It seems that her husband is a senior executive of a large company and has a lot of wealth..."

Zhang Junfeng laughed and said, "Ms. Lu's husband is more than just a senior executive of a large company. He is the chairman of a large company that ranks high in Korea. The inside story is far more than you can imagine!"

When Wu Mingxi heard what Zhang Junfeng said, he trembled. It seemed that he knew some great news!

The chairman of a large domestic company? My goodness, if the existing domestic laws and regulations require the division of property after divorce, doesn't that mean that a large company is very likely to split? ! No wonder Zhang Junfeng, the big boss, is so concerned about this matter. It seems that the water here is not ordinary deep!

…

"If Ms. Lu has any more legal questions, you can answer them. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. If she doesn't mention it, all the lawyers in the law firm, including you, should not ask about it. And you should keep silent about what Ms. Lu asks afterwards, otherwise you will cause unnecessary trouble. Do you understand?"

Before he finished, Zhang Junfeng reminded the other party that although Cui Taiyuan might not have noticed that Lu Suying went out to Mingren Law Firm, for the sake of caution, it would be better to inform him of some things in advance to prevent any trouble.

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's proposal, Wu Mingxi nodded repeatedly. If he didn't know the details of Ms. Lu before, he might not have had much concerns. But now that he knew that the other party's husband was so powerful, he might become a "helper" for the other party to divorce and destroy the big boss's marriage. It would be safer to be cautious. In case the big boss gets wind of it and comes to trouble them!

…

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Just when Zhang Junfeng finished his business and was about to return to his office, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, is this Brother Junfeng? I'm Jin Yongzhi! I just heard an explosive piece of news that may be helpful to you, Brother Junfeng. Is it convenient for you?" A familiar male voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Jin Yongzhi, the younger brother who had a good relationship with Zhang Junfeng before.

Zhang Junfeng glanced at Wu Mingxi in front of him, then replied with a smile, "Of course it's convenient. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"Oh, that's right! During this period, many of my bar's big clients stopped coming for some reason. Later, I asked someone and found out that a secret private club had opened in Jiangnan District!"

"This kind of thing is not a big deal! You didn't contact me just because you couldn't handle this little thing, did you?" Zhang Junfeng was a little speechless. Why is this little brother still so narrow-minded? It's been so many years, why hasn't he made any progress? "Brother Junfeng, don't be anxious. Listen to me and you'll know why I contacted you! According to the news, the location of the private club is a bit secret. In addition, there are some actresses and singers who provide some special services there!"

"In addition to some members of large companies and chaebol families with extraordinary backgrounds, there are also some political cadres, who sometimes appear on TV..."

Hearing this, Zhang Junfeng, who was originally a little indifferent, suddenly became interested. "According to what you mean, this private club is very likely to involve power-sex transactions and money-power transactions?"

If it were in the neighboring Dragon Country, perhaps a money-for-sex transaction would have to be added, but the situation in Goryeo is similar to that in Japan. Although this special service industry is despised and ridiculed, the government has not taken any compulsory measures to manage it, so there are even red-light districts in many places.

"These transactions must have taken place! Otherwise, why would they build the club in such a secret place? Without an acquaintance to lead the way, it would be impossible to find it! But there are many big shots coming and going there, and I can't afford to offend them."

"...But brother Junfeng, now that you have taken over a private club like this, there shouldn't be any problem even if the other party is powerful, right?" Jin Yongzhi asked expectantly. He was planning to use Zhang Junfeng, his good brother, to help him get rid of this hidden competitor. In this way, his business should be able to improve.

"Of course there won't be many problems. It's just that you've never thought about inheriting the family business and learning how to run a management company? Running a bar alone is not much fun!" Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but remind him. Considering their good relationship, Zhang Junfeng still wanted to give the other party a hand.

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's words, Jin Yongzhi chuckled, "Isn't it said that 'professional matters should be left to professionals'? I'm not good at business management, so let those professional managers take care of it!"

Zhang Junfeng was speechless when he heard what Jin Yongzhi said. This guy is really a hopeless case. Zhang Junfeng said speechlessly, "I really want to send you to college to practice. Have you ever thought about the possible consequences of relying on professional managers and being a hands-off manager?"

"If your father's lifelong hard work doesn't have anyone to take over after he retires, then your good days as a rich second-generation will probably be over! You don't want to see your carefree days of not having to worry about food and drink come to an abrupt end, do you?"

Jin Yongzhi on the other end of the phone suddenly became depressed! The reason why he was so relaxed was mainly because his father Jin Zequan was still in good health, and his own logistics company had been added to the jurisdiction of the Galaxy Group. Under such circumstances, even though he, the second generation, was married now, he could still live a carefree and comfortable life.

"Since you have no objection, then it's settled. I will arrange for someone to do the operation. If there are no problems, you can go to Seoul National University to take a course in business management next week!"

"...Wait, I haven't agreed yet! What about my bar?" Jin Yongzhi was a little anxious. Zhang Junfeng, this good brother, was going to cheat him! It was not that he didn't object, it was obvious that he hadn't made up his mind yet! At least give him some time to think about it! But before he could finish his words, Zhang Junfeng had hung up the phone. "...That's not right! Isn't the logistics company now under the jurisdiction of the Galaxy Group? Even if Dad retires, it will be my sister-in-law's people who will take over. With my relationship with Brother Junfeng, what problem can I have?!"

Jin Yongzhi realized later that he seemed to have been fooled by Zhang Junfeng!

…

"A new private club has opened in Jiangnan District, where they are engaging in unspoken rules and power-for-sex transactions. This is quite interesting~!" Zhang Junfeng showed a bright smile after hanging up the phone. He was a little curious about who had the guts to open such a place in such a prosperous place. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered?

Wu Mingxi, who was standing by, was also quite curious when he heard what Zhang Junfeng said, but since the big boss Zhang Junfeng didn't reveal too much information, he didn't dare to ask too much.

…

After Zhang Junfeng returned to his office, he thought for a moment and then called Kim Jong-min, and then conveyed the message that Kim Young-ji told him.

Jin Zhongmin could not sit still when he heard Zhang Junfeng mention that there were such dirty things in the private club. "Brother Junfeng, is the news you said reliable? If it is true, the impact will be too great!"

Although those guys in the political arena appear to be decent human beings, their actions behind the scenes are extremely covert.

If he could take down this private club with something fishy going on and collect enough evidence from it, then he, who has been in the position of Chief Prosecutor for several years, might be able to make a great contribution and get promoted. There is a high probability that he will be transferred to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office to take up a higher position! (End of this chapter)
